I love Sarah Jio! I can always trust her stories to pull me out of a reading slump. They are so easy to digest with just enough serendipity to create a magical atmosphere without being cheesy. This story was such a comfort read for me.. again. The characters are beautifully drawn. I'm always blown away by the amount of character development Sarah can get into such short novels.

The mood of her stories brings back so much nostalgia for me. So ethereal and romantical. I always feel the same way I did reading and re-reading The Secret Garden as a child.

I'm honestly just sad I'm reaching the end of her backlog. But there's always re-reading.
